I try to link my mobile number to my Paypal account but I never receive the confirmation SMS text message that they say has been sent.. My phone number is entered correctly.. My phone number is set to "mobile" in my profile preferences.. I click the "Re-Send" button but I never receive the SMS text message, so I can't enter my confirmation code !!!! I see alot of members are having the same problem but their posts are not getting any replies besides "make sure your phone number is entered correctly" or "make sure your phone number listed in your profile is set to MOBILE". HELLO PAYPAL!!!!! It's the right number and it's set to mobile.!!! So why aren't I getting the text message from you so I can enter my confirmation code????????? And by the way, my carrier is T-Mobile and I have UNLIMITED SMS MESSAGING on my plan... Oh, AND my account is paid up to date.!!!!!!! So please explain to me why I am not getting the confirmation code sent to my mobile phone????

Yes, I too am having the same issue. I was able to get the confirmaiton code for the Security Key, but never have I been able to link up my smart phone w/ my account so that I can receive text messages of my statuses...etc...

I'm having the same problem. My cell phone (Verizon) actually gets a text message when I try to sign up for the mobile security key, but the text message just says that Premium Messaging needs to be enable to receive these texts. But I get text messages all day long from friends and family, and from my bank, too, when I go to log in there.

Ok, I have a pin on my Android phone. That doesn't help. So,how do I register for a Secuirty Key for my phone? The place that I see the security key requires me to enter that everytime I login to the site... and that **bleep**. I did get the Security Key text, but no other SMS text from the Activation screen.

After I got the Security Key, I found out I had to get a new one every time I logged in to PayPal! I will probably deactivate it if I am going to be accessing it alot.

I managed, like you, to enter a PIN number on my phone and am able to login to PayPal Mobile with the PIN I created, but I have not tested to see whether I can send and receive money via the Mobile App.

This issue must be a big one for PayPal because I have not received any support from them since I started this thread. Keep sharing your experiences so we can hopefully help lots of other people that are having the same problem. I still cannot confirm PayPal mobile on my account because I cannot figure out why I'm not receivng the confirmation text msg to my phone.
